SUMMARY:
Background
On April 20, 2011, BP Exploration &
Production Inc. and the Trustees agreed
to the Framework for Early Restoration
Addressing Injuries Resulting from the
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
(Framework Agreement), to provide up
to $1 billion toward early restoration
projects in the Gulf of Mexico to address
injuries to natural resources caused by
the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The
Framework Agreement represents a
preliminary step toward the restoration
of injured natural resources. The
Framework Agreement is intended to
expedite the start of restoration in the
Gulf in advance of the completion of the
injury assessment process. The
Framework Agreement provides a
mechanism through which the Trustees
and BP can work together ‘‘to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
commence implementation of early
restoration projects that will provide
meaningful benefits to accelerate
restoration in the Gulf as quickly as
practicable,’’ prior to the resolution of
the Trustees’ natural resource damages
claim.
The Trustees are:
• U.S. Department of the Interior
(DOI), as represented by the National
Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, and Bureau of Land
Management;
• National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), on behalf of
the U.S. Department of Commerce;
• U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA);
• U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD); 1
• U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA);
• State of Louisiana Coastal
Protection and Restoration Authority,
Oil Spill Coordinator’s Office,
Department of Environmental Quality,
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries,
and Department of Natural Resources;
• State of Mississippi Department of
Environmental Quality;
• State of Alabama Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources and
Geological Survey of Alabama;
• State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection and Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission; and
• For the State of Texas, Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department, Texas General
Land Office, and Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality.
The Trustees considered hundreds of
projects leading to the identification of
a potential 28 future early restoration
projects announced in the May 6, 2013
Federal Register notice (78 FR 26319).
On June 4, 2013 (78 FR 33431), the
Trustees announced their intent to
prepare a Programmatic Environmental
Impact Statement (PEIS) under OPA and
NEPA to evaluate the environmental
consequences of early restoration
project types, as well as to propose a
Phase III Early Restoration Plan to
address injuries from the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill that would include the
28 early restoration projects announced
in the May 6, 2013, Federal Register
notice and potentially additional early
restoration projects. In accordance with
NEPA, the Trustees conducted scoping
to identify the concerns of the affected
public, Federal agencies, States, and
Indian tribes; to involve the public in
the decision making process; to
1 Although a trustee under OPA by virtue of the
proximity of its facilities to the Deepwater Horizon
oil spill, DOD is not a member of the Trustee
Council and does not participate in Trustee
decision-making.

facilitate efficient early restoration
planning and environmental review; to
define the issues and alternatives that
would be examined in detail; and to
save time by ensuring that draft
documents adequately address relevant
issues. A scoping process reduces
paperwork and delay by ensuring that
important issues are considered early in
the decision making process. To gather
public input, the Trustees hosted six
public meetings and accepted written
comment electronically and via U.S.
mail during the scoping period.
A notice of availability of the Draft
Programmatic and Phase III Early
Restoration Plan and Draft Early
Restoration Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement (Draft
Phase III ERP/PEIS) was published in
the Federal Register on December 6,
2013 (78 FR 73555). The Draft Phase III
ERP/PEIS considered programmatic
alternatives for early restoration and
proposed alternatives for 44 early
restoration projects in Phase III of early
restoration consistent with the project
types included in the proposed
programmatic alternative. The Trustees
provided the public with 75 days to
review and comment on the Draft Phase
III ERP/PEIS (including a 15-day
extension of the original announced 60day comment period). To facilitate
public participation, the Trustees also
held public meetings in Mobile,
Alabama; Long Beach, Mississippi; Belle
Chasse, Thibodaux, and Lake Charles,
Louisiana; Port Arthur, Galveston, and
Corpus Christi, Texas; and Pensacola,
Florida. The Trustees considered the
public comments received, which
informed the Trustees’ analyses of
programmatic alternatives and specific
early restoration projects in the Final
Phase III ERP/PEIS. A summary of the
public comments received and the
Trustees’ responses to those comments
are found in Chapter 13 of the Final
Phase III ERP/PEIS.
A notice of availability of the Final
Phase III ERP/PEIS was published in the
Federal Register on June 26, 2014 (79
FR 36328). The Final Phase III ERP/PEIS
proposed early restoration
programmatic alternatives and
evaluated the potential environmental
effects and cumulative effects of those
alternatives. The Final Phase III ERP/
PEIS also proposed 44 projects as
described in the Final Phase III ERP/
PEIS, totaling an estimated cost of
approximately $627 million.
Upon the completion of the Final
Phase III ERP/PEIS, a Record of Decision
